LONDON, March 1.-THE report printed
in the .SfMalund that an unsuccessfal at
tempt to assassinate tlso Car of Rsassn
had been made, was utterly discredited
by Mr.. DeStael. the Russian Ambassador.
In an interview this morning. the Am
bassador said he had received no tele-
gram in relation to such an attempt. and
this was evidence sufficient to convince
him that the report was unfoundesl II
il was trne he would have received dis
patch long ago. The Ambassador said
that he was about to attend service i'm the
Russian chapel in commernoration Of the
Cars accession to the throne. and il wsIs
not likely that he would leave the EN-
bassy if there was the least probability of
any news of that chaaacter being re-
ceived. The service in the chapel was
crowded with diplomats in full uniform,
conspicuous above all being the members
Of the Russian Embassy. After the ser
vice. the members Of the Russian En-
bassy were congratulated by all present
that the rumOrs of an attempt ON the
life OF the Car were unfOunded.
The Standard. commenting OH the re.-
ported attempt ON the Cars life. SAYS
. Such an event might be- sufficient to
turn the scale in the direction of war.
From this point Of view the outrage is of
the gravest possible significance.
